Attention freelance writers 📝

As the new arts and culture editor at Toronto Life, I’m looking for interesting pitches in the realm of art, design and culture. Know a couple whose wedding was both beautiful and unique? What about a person’s apartment that’s charming and off the wall? Do they collect anything weird? Basically, anything that both surprises and delights. Send curveballs, or anything else you’ve got, to isabel.slone@stjoseph.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

We’re looking for the best content freelancers to come work with us on fun content projects at monday.com. Native English speakers only, based anywhere. DM me your writing samples + rate + references ❤️💛💚

IFLScience editors are looking for contributions in the form of feature-length pieces on any subject with a STEM angle. We are particularly keen on features that challenge expectations, provide insights from overlooked perspectives, and have something new and important to say. Such stories can take several forms:

Deep dive – In-depth reporting on a specific subject, fact, or discovery entices the audience to want to know more.

Biographical/profile – From the award winners to those who should be better known, this is a way to talk about a subject via the work of an individual scientist. 

Covering a social-scientific issue – Science cannot be separated from the society in which it operates; this type of feature aims to place it in the wider context. 

Topical – Stories can mark a specific international date with STEM relevance, or be tied to time-specific/seasonal occurrences.

Opinion – Make a case or take a stand on a particular issue within a science context. 

Please note - Specific papers/new studies are usually covered by our staff writers. Our journalists have ready access to press sites and journals and we generally do not accept pitches pertaining to individual studies. However, we do accept pitches on pre-print papers or on upcoming research that has been shared by researchers in interviews.

This guide pertains to editorial content only. Authors need to declare potential conflicts of interest. We don’t accept promotional content. For sponsored content or Custom Content Services please see here.

All pieces will be published on our Substack first and later on our main website.

A good example of recent essays that we have published can also be found here.

The enthusiasm of the film community has excited us, inspired us, and continues to help us grow. We welcome pitches from new voices and past contributors, but before you pitch to editorial@filmdaze.net, here are a few tips to give your pitch the best possible chance:

(Note: We are not currently looking for any new staff/regular contributors, so unless it concerns festival coverage, please only pitch us one-off pieces. We are not interested in reviews for films/series that have already been released).

We commission most of our festival coverage and general reviews from current staff/regular contributors, so please do not pitch us festival coverage/ reviews unless you see it on our call list. 

We are mainly interested in publishing long-form reads on 2023 releases and reviews on 2024 films.

$25 for reviews

$50 for all essays and features Substack (articles, essays, think pieces, listicles, and more.) Substack Pieces will be behind a 2-3 month paywall before being free to read to everyone on our official site (Authors will have access to their pieces to share.)

$60 for Interviews 

Festival Coverage TBD

Edits: $15 for reviews, $25 for anything else.

Film Daze is operated by a small group of young, diverse individuals. The more funds we receive, the more we can pay our writers and editorial staff.

CALL FOR PITCHES: Derange is looking for literary journalism. We can pay $100 per piece, and the subject matter can be about anything. Ideally, your story will pair boots-on-the-ground reporting with narrative flair. 

This is my regular callout for pitches for the Globe and Mail's business opinion section. Pitch me at elou@globeandmail.com. For reference, these are the pieces that have run in my section: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/

Journalists, please pitch me! I edit mind & brain news at @sciam.bsky.social and I'm looking for psychology and neuroscience stories. I'm especially interested in consciousness science and linguistics. Guidelines and contact info: https://www.scientificamerican.com/page/submission-instructions/

Since the workload isn’t getting any lighter, I would like to extend an occasional invitation and/or plea to you to take some of it on: If there is a case you want to unpack, a trend you want to highlight, a nominee you want to scrutinize, or just something happening in the law-adjacent world that makes you upset, you can send Balls & Strikes your pitches anytime at—you’ll want to write this down, it’s complicated—pitches@ballsandstrikes.org. You can find more detailed submissions guidelines here, but I will spoil the most important part: For essays of about 1,000 words, we typically pay $500. Why go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this summer when you can get paid to write about the worst people on earth instead?
